حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ، قَالَ بُنْدَارٌ، وَيُقَالَ: السَّلِّيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ:
صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الْبَطْحَاءِ، بَطْحَاءِ مَكَّةَ، ثُمَّ خَطَّ عَلَيْهِ خَطًّا - يَعْنِي عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَا تَبْرَحَنَّ خَطَّكَ، فَإِنِ انْتَهَى إِلَيْكَ أَحَدٌ فَلَا تُكَلِّمْهُ، ثُمَّ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَيْثُ أَرَادَ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي خَطِّي إِذْ أَتَانِي رِجَالٌ كَأَنَّهُمُ الزُّطُّ، أَشْعَارُهُمْ وَأَجْسَادُهُمْ لَا يُجَاوِزُونَ الْخَطَّ، ثُمَّ يَصِيرُونَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ آذَانِي هَؤُلَاءِ اللَّيْلَةَ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فِي خَطِّي فَتَوَسَّدَ فَخِذِي فَرَقَدَ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَقَدَ نَفَخَ النَّوْمَ نَفْخًا، فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا قَاعِدٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُتَوَسِّدٌ فَخِذِي، إِذَا أَنَا بِرِجَالٍ كَأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ الْحِجَازِ، عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ، اللهُ أَعْلَمُ مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَمَالِ، فَجَلَسَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَطَائِفَةٌ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا بَيْنَهُمْ: مَا رَأَيْنَا أَحَدًا قَطُّ أُوتِيَ مَا أُوتِيَ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، إِنَّ عَيْنَيْهِ نَائِمَةٌ وَقَلْبَهُ يَقْظَانُ فَاضْرِبُوا لَهُ مَثَلًا - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: بِرَجُلٍ بَنَى قَصْرًا ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مَأْدُبَةً وَدَعَا النَّاسَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ، فَمَنْ أَجَابَهُ أَكَلَ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ وَشَرِبَ مِنْ شَرَابِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ عَاقَبَهُ أَوْ عُوقِبَ، ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعُوا، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي: سَمِعْتَ مَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ، وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَنْ هُمْ ؟، قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: هُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، قَالَ: فَتَدْرِي مَا الْمَثَلُ الَّذِي ضَرَبُوهُ ؟، قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: مَثَلُ الَّذِي ضَرَبُوا الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بَنَى الْجَنَّةَ وَدَعَا إِلَيْهَا عِبَادَهُ فَمَنْ أَجَابَهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْهُ عَاقَبَهُ أَوْ عَذَّبَهُ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the night prayer (Salat al-ʿIsha'), then departed and took my hand and went out to the plain, the plain of Makkah. Then he drew a line for him — meaning for ʿAbdullah b. Masʿud — then said: “Do not leave your line. If anyone reaches you, do not speak to him.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went where he intended. While I was sitting in my line, there came to me men resembling the Zut, their hair and their bodies — they did not cross the line, then they went on to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, until when it was the last part of the night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came while I was sitting, and said: “These have troubled me tonight.” Then he entered upon me within my line and rested his head on my thigh and slept. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he slept, would breathe audibly in his sleep. While I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ resting his head on my thigh, suddenly there came to me men who seemed like men of the Hijaz, upon them white garments — Allah knows best how beautiful they were. A group of them sat at the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a group at his feet. Then they said among themselves: “We have never seen anyone who has been given what this Prophet ﷺ was given: his eyes sleep while his heart remains awake. Strike a parable for him — I think he said: as a man who built a palace, then prepared a banquet and invited people to his food. Whoever answered him ate of his food and drank of his drink, and whoever did not answer him, he punished or was punished.” Then they departed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up and said to me: “Did you hear what these said, and do you know who they are?” I said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “They are the angels.” He said: “Do you know the parable they struck?” I said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “The parable they struck is the Lord, Blessed and Exalted: He built Paradise and called His servants to it. Whoever answered Him entered Paradise, and whoever did not answer Him, He punished or tormented.”
